I hope that you all enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends as much as we did. Our Thanksgiving was spent in Kennebunkport with family and although the weather was less than perfect it certainly did not damper our festivities.

We drove to Boothbay on Friday to attend the Gardens Aglow exhibit. The display of lights is quite spectacular and definitely worth seeing if you have the opportunity. It was nice to see so many familiar faces at the Garden and around town. For the first time the harbor storefronts were decorated for the season and made the downtown area quite celebratory.

I was excited to be able to participate in shop local on Saturday and purchased several gifts from some of my favorite downtown businesses. If you are looking for a great gift for someone special Sue Clark’s book,” Past Images of Ocean Point Maine” is available at the East Boothbay General Store or contact Sue at latitude43designs@hotmail.com.

Congratulations to Ashley (Pond) and Rhett Butler on the birth of their second daughter Chloe Joyce born November 27 in Jacksonville, Florida weighing 7 lbs. 5 oz. Ashley is the daughter of Cara and Mark Pond, congratulations to them as well. Mom, dad and big sister Adison are all doing well and are looking forward to visiting Ocean Point next summer.

Dave McHold is recovering quite nicely from recent back surgery thanks to the support of Pat and his children. Dave hopes to be fully mobile in just a few short weeks just in time for the holiday.

Dianne Eakin is gearing up for the Christmas holiday and will spend it with her family, as Debi and Steve will be arriving for a visit.

Enjoy your holiday season with family and friends and have a great week!
